Oh callouses my callouses...


Short, stubby, fingers.

Why can't you guys spread more easily?

Reach, strain, cramps...

Am I giving myself arthritis by doing this?

I have the worst possible hands for trying to learn the guitar.

At work I use size 6.5 gloves. They are frequently too small for some rooms to even stock them. Most docs look at me and wonder why I have such small hands.

I can barely get them to spread along the guitar neck...

Plus the steel strings. Oh those fine, hard, steel strings.

I wish my callouses would heal over faster so that I can keep practicing.

Why can't I get any better?
